Is it a "Wonderful Life?
I always hated that movie "It's a Wonderful Life." The religious idealism that they have a guardian angel and that some spiritual being is out there guiding them, defies logic. We matter to each other, but not to the universe. The movie depicts life as being sad and negative if the main character had never lived. Even if a person has a very positive influence on people, their lives may have been even better if that person never existed.

Regardless of the religious bent on the story the end result remains true. You're here now. Who knows why. It's your choice to see it as it sucks or whatever. Get on with it, will ya?

For my dad, 89, it's the best Christmas movie he's ever watched and has been watching for the past 70 years.
I'm not a fan of Frank Capra and I see a lot of me in Jimmy Stewart and his character George.
Maybe I'll just watch Bruce Willis' 1986 Die Hard film for the nth time this Christmas.

I like A Christmas Story-"You'll shoot your eye out kid"
How about old man Scrooge? I can always relate to him
a wonderful life it has been. Soooo much fun and still more to be had. . See everything you can and try everything once at least. Meet as many people up close and personal as possible. lead by example

I absolutely agree. Get as much as possible out of life and make it good for others also. Of course, my question had more to do with he movie, but I do agree with you.
